Garmin Oregon PNDs make an early appearance
July 7, 2008
Filed under: GPS
It’s been a while since Garmin dropped any new gear on us, but it looks like we’re about to get a whole new series of nav units soon — Buy.com and Amazon just put up listings for the Garmin Oregon 200, 300, and 400. The new boxes are a little smaller and lighter than the Colorado series, with a rugged, waterproof casing, 3-inch 240 X 400 sunlight readable touchscreens, customizable user profiles, and the ability to transfer waypoints, tracks, routes, and geocaches between units. We’re assuming pricing will change when these things get real, but for now the 200 is listed at $420 and the 400C is listed at $558. It’s not exactly clear what the specific differences between the line is, except that the 400 will come in several flavors, with the 400C variant sporting BlueChart g2 marine maps for the coastal US and Bahamas. Hopefully we’ll get some more details soon, as these bad boys seem ready to go.
